    Description

    A rare chance to lead something special..


    Our brilliant Director of Customer Channels is heading into a well‑earned retirement (cue the cake and confetti). That means you could step into a role with serious scope: shaping how every customer experiences Yorkshire Housing - from the first "hello" to the "all sorted, thanks".

    This is a big, exciting, sleeves‑rolled‑up Director gig that blends strategy, delivery and influence. Ready to make your mark?

    What you'll lead (and supercharge)

    • All direct customer‑facing channels: our contact centre, emerging digital channels, income services and complaints - you'll set the direction and ensure the day‑to‑day is brilliant and consistent.
    • High‑stakes performance: you'll be accountable for business‑critical KPIs (including complaints and arrears) that report up to our Executive Team and Board.
    • Tech that actually changes things: you'll sponsor major programs like Salesforce and automation to make journeys simpler and service smarter.
    • Serious stewardship: you'll oversee significant budgets and the annual rent roll of around £110m, making sure we deliver value and impact.
    • Regulatory confidence: you'll keep us fully aligned with legislation and the Housing Ombudsman Complaint Code.
    • Brilliant teams: you'll motivate and inspire your team of 100+ colleagues - creating a culture where people love doing their best work.
    • Real influence: you'll report to our Executive Director of Customer Experience, engage with our Board and Committees, and sit as a quorum member on the Transformation Board.

    Your first 12 months;

    • Set a clear channel vision that makes every interaction effortless and human - with a roadmap that the whole organisation can rally behind.
    • Dial up digital: make smarter use of insight and behaviour data to expand self‑serve and design journeys people choose to use.
    • Lift our KPIs: faster resolution, fewer escalations, tighter arrears control, and complaints that lead to visible learning across the business.
    • Embed new tech in a way that sticks - tooling that empowers colleagues and delights customers.
    • Coach leaders to thrive: clear accountability, energized teams, and a reputation for calm, confident delivery when the pressure's on.

    You'll smash this role if…

    • You've led at senior level in complex, multi‑channel customer environments and love balancing strategy with day‑to‑day excellence.
    • Transformation is your happy place - you've taken big programmes from concept to reality and brought people with you.
    • You're fluent in regulation and consumer standards, including the Housing Ombudsman's Complaint Code, and comfortable influencing at Board level.
    • You're data‑driven and people‑powered: bold, evidence‑based decisions paired with empathy and clear communication.
    • You've got the quals: a Level 5 Certificate in Housing (or equivalent) is great - or you're up for achieving it. Sector experience and leadership/coaching quals earn bonus points.

    Why this is a career‑defining move..

    • Scope & visibility: Run a high‑impact directorate that shapes the experience of thousands of customers and is central to our strategy.
    • Genuine inclusion: Bring your whole self; help others do the same. We're committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and we want leaders who champion it.
    • Tech & talent: Lead talented teams and the tools that help them shine - with the autonomy to make smart, customer‑obsessed choices.
    • Flexibility that works: We're serious about Agile/Homeworking and enabling you to do your best work. Plus, there's a car allowance

    The nuts and bolts


    In return for your expertise, we're offering a salary of £110,000 plus £3,500 car allowance per year for a 35‑hour week, 30 days annual leave, rising to 35 plus Bank Holidays. You'll benefit from a flexible reward package, including a cash plan for prescriptions and eye tests, retail discounts, and a pension scheme with matched contributions up to 9%. Wellbeing is a priority, with access to free fitness classes, instant My GP service, and counselling sessions.
